Sweden, though I wish I wasn't at the moment due to the half meter of snow that just fell in combination with the frequent power outages. For some weird reason people apparently use more electricity when it's -11 degrees outside. My power supplier apparently had no idea about that. It's the same for the trains, the subway and the buses. Everything is gonna collapse so spectacularly this year it's not even funny.

huh. are they using rolling blackouts or are they getting overloaded?

It was unplanned. It seems like most of it has blown over now, but there are still short blackouts now and then. Been 4 of them in 3 days.

3 days ago the power was down for almost 5 hours for 17-22. Around 80 000 houses (including mine) had no power and the subway stood still in that area. During rush hour. The full 10 "replacement buses" for the subway (buses from other lines which obviously got canceled instead) they put in to get 100k people home from work did an outstanding job trying to make dent in the masses of people outside the subway stations despite the snow, but it 99% of the people waiting still had to just wait it out.

Yesterday we had almost half a meter of snow. I couldn't open the door from the inside due to the snow outside. It's just before my exams so there are no classes so I was at home. I then got a call from my sister saying that the buses and the subway can't move AGAIN due to the now. The garage plus the whole parking lot connected to it was full of snow and they didn't plow it until today. It took me almost 20 minutes just getting to the garage to see that there was nothing I could do at all.

Sometimes I miss Japan. They may have exploding nuclear power plants, typhoons and earthquakes, but at least the power works. Sweden has so many horrible natural disasters that you can't possibly predict and prepare for like winter and snow. Did you know parts of Sweden lie on the same latitude as Sibiria?

16, Michigan, in the U-S-of-A no snow yet but we're prepared in case of one of our... worst winters. *shudder* how is it even possible for 6+ feet of snow in a day?!
